Ophrys fusca, O. lupercalis, O. forestieri, O. malacitana
“A la primera d’una sèrie prevista de publicacions, s’aplica l’anàlisi biomètric a dos temes controvertits dins de la secció Pseudophrys del gènere Ophrys. Les afinitats d’Ophrys fusca s.s. dels voltants de Lisboa (Portugal) amb les O. lupercalis polinitzades per Andrena nigroaena (O. “nigroaena-fusca”) i amb les plantes polinitzades per Colletes cunicularius de la provincia de Málaga, conegudes fins ara amb el nom de treball O. “colletes-fusca”, han estat llargament qüestionades. Anàlisis biomètrics de les tres entitats indiquen que hi ha tres espècies. Les plantes de Málaga es descriuen com a Ophrys malacitana. En segon lloc, seguint la designació d’un lectotipus per el nom O. forestieri del material original recollit per Forestier a L’Escaladieu als Pirineus francesos, un anàlisi biomètric de les plantes d’aquesta zona amb plantes conegudes com a O. lupercalis del Sud de França i Est d’España, conclou que son una única espècie. El nom O. forestieri té prioritat i el nom O. lupercalis esdevé un sinònim. Adicionalment, poblacions disjuntes del Nord d’España mostren diferències biomètriques florals, que poden indicar un canvi o variació en el polinitzador, mentre que la població de Mallorca és molt similar a la de l’España continental i a la del Sud de França.”

Today UnitedHealthcare opened a three day clinic for employees to have their biometrics tested. No secret, I did not pass with flying colors. Last week my blood pressure was very high, but it has at least come down. I am actually taking a day off tomorrow, scheduling a doctor’s appointment, and going through the motions I should have done a long time ago.
UnitedHealthcare actually rebates employees for taking charge of their health. Through a point system, if we show we are checking our biometrics, doing our preventative examinations, etc., we can get rebates on our premiums. It’s a great way to build accountability and actually take charge of our health. I think this year I may actually take the advice of medical professionals and get healthy!

Finger scanner to keep track of students
"... A spokesman for the department says the software complies with the department's confidentiality and privacy codes, and does not record fingerprint images. ..."
This statement is a bit deceptive because no images are stored but a binary fingerprint is stored somewhere. Enough to identify each individual for the process to work. Using fingerprints for students is also open to attack [0]. Iris-scans would be harder to tamper with and a lot cooler. Probably a bit too cool for mere school students. And of course the obvious question. Has any asked why a roll call with teacher, pen & paper doesn't work?
a bit later...
@Bioauthenticator "... These systems are safe, secure and private. ..."
Spoken like a vendor.
Safe
In what sense? You don't cut your finger when you use them? Or safe in that nobody else can gain access to the biometric data and mis-use it later on?
Secure
Spend enough money and you might get hardware that is difficult to spoof. But we know how tight the budget is in NSW at the moment. [1] Is it connected to outside systems or applications? How is the data transported? You can secure systems but it's not a one off cost.
Private
Any system that stores digital information by nature can be exported, retrieved. What is to say at some time in the future all data taken (biometric and collected) at these schools are distributed to other government departments. Is there anything technically stopping biometric information being stored with CrimTrac [2] for instance? What about attendance at school stored with Human Services to work out why students might not be attending school or at Centrelink for future profiling purposes?
This isn't a technology problem. It's a rights problem. identifying data is being collected for questionable reasons with the potential for abuse. No justifiable reason is reported.

BIO-EXEMPT
10:30 - 12:00Zach Blas
Official literature on biometrics from the UK Home Office defines bio-exempt as those not required to submit biometric data to the government, and specifies that children, amputees with one or no fingers, and diplomats are bio-exempt. The UK Home Office also described bio-exempt as ‘exempt from control.’ In his performative lecture Zach Blas will attempt to understand ‘bio-exempt’ as a paradigmatic descriptor for today's global security regime. Bio-exemption is a mode of biopolitical control: who has the legal right to be exempt from their embodied self and who has the right to remain unmarked, not indexed.

(Radio Frequency IDentification) A data collection technology that uses electronic tags for storing data. The tag, also known as an "electronic label," "transponder" or "code plate," is made up of an RFID chip attached to an antenna. Transmitting in the kilohertz, megahertz and gigahertz ranges, tags may be battery-powered or derive their power from the RF waves coming from the reader.
Like bar codes, RFID tags identify items. However, unlike bar codes, which must be in close proximity and line of sight to the scanner for reading, RFID tags do not require line of sight and can be embedded within packages. Depending on the type of tag and application, they can be read at a varying range of distances. In addition, RFID-tagged cartons rolling on a conveyer belt can be read many times faster than bar-coded boxes.

The mission of the Jacksonville Port Authority’s Wellness Committee is to empower employees by contributing and supporting their health, well-being and mental fitness through education, participation and physical resources.
The Jacksonville Port Authority has about 150 employees; however, the private sector customers and tenants who use Port Authority seaport terminals employ thousands of workers. According to economic impact studies, the combined direct, indirect and induced impact of the maritime industries in the Jacksonville area account for more than 65,000 jobs.
Marine industry jobs include import/export companies, container services, dredging and marine construction companies, freight forwarders, custom brokers, rail carriers, ship chandlers, stevedores, towing and barge services and trucking companies among others. Together these companies generate a tremendous economic impact on Florida's First Coast.

Types of Biometrics Biometrics literally means life measurement and is associated with utilization of distinctive physiological characteristics for identifying individuals. Though most important application related with biometrics is that of security, it is used as the computer interface too. A range of Biometric applications are being used for authenticating person’s identity. With the use of various features including fingerprints, face, signature, and iris, a person is identified.
